Yes! Thank you! It was surreal.

I live in Glennallen, Alaska. I had never driven to McCarthy until 2019. I have lived here 48 years. My husband and I drove our jeep. We rented and atv from a local resident to do our tour. I believe their are people who take tourists to McCarthy on a shuttle bus. Most people don't recommend taking a motorcoach on that "road." My sister from Georgia wanted to drive my mother's van out there. We discouraged her. My brother-in-law flew my sister and her husband to McCarthy in his airplane for the day. You guys did well. I did notice there weren't any other motorhomes parked by the Kennicott River. It can be done. Just know it is a big risk.

WAIT!!! HOLD ON!!!! You don't have any spare tire or any way to repair or change a flat tire?????? EXCUSE ME!!! BIG, HUGE MISTAKE!!! I'll tell you what I taught all my kids, always be prepared to take care of any repairs yourself because you can't always count on someone to be around when you need help or it could be someone you would much rather NOT be around. Just glad you made it there and back safely and enjoyed yourselves. There used to be a show on TV called "McCarthy" and the residents (mostly off grid homesteaders) were dead set against opening the mine for tourism or allowing tourists and all their vehicles in their small town. They wound up making an agreement with the man that wanted to open the mind for tourism, and the agreement was no tourist vehicles were allowed to come into town. The main reason the people are there was to get away from the outside world, the rat race, and have their privacy, so you can imagine their anger when all the talk from one money hungry man to make it a tourist trap. I don't know if the shows are still on some hidden channel, I liked it because I love learning about homesteading and surviving off grid.

Thank you so much. Not sure if it's gutsy or ignorance... 🤔😉 but glad you enjoyed it and excited to have you along on the journey. 😊

Watching from Tasmania. This has to be one of your best episodes in your tour of Alaska. Stunning scenery all around but the glacier tour is next level. Thank you for sharing you adventure’s through county we will never see. We never miss an episode now we have found your channel.

Thank you, Robert. We are enjoying this trip up here. We want to get down to Australia and visit Tasmania too. I'll have to get your advice on not to miss sights in Tasmania. Appreciate your time watching the channel. 😃

@@bigtruckbigtravels you would feel right at home down here. Lots of walks, stunning scenery and a small population. If you do plan a trip however don’t believe the travel agents….you need at least a month down here to do it properly. I did not mention the food either! You can eat your way from coast to coast. You would be welcome to pick our brain on where to go to. Safe travels and looking forward to your next episode.

Funny, the Nomadic Ramblers were just up there and had the same observations about "the shortcut". It was interesting to follow your visit after having watched the entire documentary series "The Edge of Alaska" and seeing the town developed and the generator installation and wiring of the town.

Small world, Dale. I guess great minds think alike! Lots of improvements to the town, the community is still colorful with a frontier feel. Thanks for the comment.

A few years ago there was a TV show filmed in McCarthy .

You are correct, Charles. It was on for about 5 years, I believe. The town is pretty cool. 😍

I am going to re-watch and start the "BAD" counter. Great,informative and entertaining. Keep'em comin'.
